I don't see much about ethics, changing the world, expanding the frontiers of science, moving people out of poverty, anything like that.
Now please play this right and tell me Mr. Zuck has donated lot of money he got from his business, how that's made the world better, etc.
I firmly believe the social networks - including FB - have a lot to do with the uprisings in the arab world. I think it contributes a lot to make the world flatter, allowing people to live where they want to while staying in contact with their family, former coworkers, etc. It also inspires so many other social tools that allow to transfer knowledge much more efficiently anywhere on earth.
Truth is, FB is still struggling to make money. The banks kept the stock at IPO level with huge bids. But whatever, they brought a fantastic story. And they extracted huge money from the ad market, for sure. But who knows if Zuck will not follow Bill Gates path later?
If I keep my money to myself, is it unethical?
Frontiers of science?
Ever checked out Facebook's Github repo?
What do you mean to imply? Is it that a person must donate his wealth and distribute it among the poor to to qualify as a successful?
I am not going say that Mr Zuck has donated a lot of money he got from his business because I don't consider that as something he has to do qualify as successful.
